Full Plot

Nia and Booker have been saving money for a trip to the African American Museum in DC. Nia asks Raven if she could use the money to buy a cool new expensive black and white jacket she saw on Lit 'Fits premium. She wants to be the fashion trendsetter among her friends. Raven refuses and reminds her how important the money and the trip is.

Nia agrees and goes to her bedroom where Tess is waiting for her. She tells Tess Raven's response but declares that it's too late because she already bought the jacket. Nia takes out the jacket and puts it on. When she hears Raven coming over, she jumps and hides under bed covers. Raven notices that Tess and Nia are acting weird but ignores it. She tells Nia that they will take the trip money to the bank on Monday. Nia must figure out a way to make the $150 back before Monday so that her mom doesn't find out she used the money.

The next day at school, the popular girls Sienna and Zeena are fascinated by Nia's jacket. When Sienna says that she would do anything to wear the jacket, Nia comes up with a business idea. She tells Tess that they could started renting the jacket to all students who want it and charge them $5 for 5 minutes. The business works out well and by the end of the day, the girls make the 150 dollars they wanted. Instead of keeping the money, Nia decides to buy keep the business running. She spends the money to buy a matching cape. Tess advises against it but Nia insists. Unfortunately, Zeena beats them to fashion trends by subscribing to Lit 'Fits Premium Prime and revealing that black and white is out, and multi-color is in. So, Nia and Tess are unable to make any money. But time is running out.

Meanwhile, Booker and Levi decline an invitation from Mitch to play with him on his new game table. Mitch tells them that they will regret it; then Booker gets a vision of Mitch poking a doll that looks like Booker. He tells Levi that Mitch is putting a curse against him. Later, Booker starts getting poked in the nick and concludes that it's Mitch's witchcraft. So, he spends his money by buying an old magic book for a spell to remove Mitch's curse. Unfortunately, the spell and all the rituals don't work out. He still keeps getting poked. And in fact, Levi starts getting poked as well. So, Booker and Levi get the confidence to go to Mitch's apartment to confront him about the curse. During the confrontation, Levi notices that he was being poked by a cactus thorn. Booker notices one too. They must have got the thorns from the cacti Chelsea brought in for her garden. They ask Mitch about the doll. It turns out Mitch was just sewing the doll because he loves sewing. He kicks them out of his apartment.

Now that both Booker and Nia have used all their money, they must work together to figure out how to get the money back before Raven finds out. Nia suggests using Raven's paints to turn her black and white jacket into a multi-colored one just like Zeena's. She then fills the paint bottles with water so that Raven doesn't find out. Right afterwards, Zeena calls and reveals that the multi-colored jackets are out. So, Nia decides to subscribe to Lit 'Fits Premium Prime to get tips on the newest fashion trends before Zeena and Sienna. They notice that the next trend will be cell phone pouches. They just need someone who can sew them. Booker and Levi suggest asking Mitch to sew the pouches for them. The twins successfully sell all the cell phone pouches and make enough money. Unfortunately, the pouches are very weak and start coming apart, causing the phones to fall. Sienna leads the other students to demand their money back. Nia and Booker are left wondering how to get out of it.

Later at home, Raven is finalizing a painting of Gloria's cat, Carmichael when she notices that her paints have been diluted with water. She asks the kids if they know anything about it. Nia is forced to admit everything she did because of getting carried away with being a trendsetter. She also rats Booker out for using his money to buy a spellbook that didn't even work. Raven is disappointed in the twins for wasting the money. She is also worried about losing the painting commission but luckily Gloria thinks the effect of the dripping paint perfectly capture her cat's tears, and happily hands Raven a check for $500. Nevertheless, Raven punishes Nia and Booker by forcing them to wash her car after every shift.
